Carlo Conti and the news on the Sanremo Festival

It has now been decided: Carlo Conti will be the new presenter of the next two editions of the Sanremo Festival. The well-known Rai presenter has not only accepted this assignment, but has decided to introduce several innovations in this centuries-old format. Here’s what we discovered.

Amadeus abandons the Sanremo Festival

The Sanremo Festival it is one of the most important certainties regarding the panorama of Italian music. This is an opportunity that Italians do not want to miss for anything in the world, which is why every year February represents a month of waiting and expectations. For about 4 years these have been largely satisfied, as Amadeus was chosen to be the host and organizer of this world-famous event.

The presenter has successfully hosted these last four editions, bringing great joy to the public and significantly modernizing the format. However, the edition just ended was the last, as Amadeus declared it to be tired and wanting to look elsewhere to embark on new projects.

Carlo Conti is the new presenter of the Sanremo Festival

Since Amadeus announced his withdraw from the Sanremo Festival, rumors began to circulate regarding who could take over the new management of the Festival. Among the most popular names is that of Carlo Conti who, obviously, immediately denied everything, only to then confirm it when it was defined as a contractual title.

So it will be Carlo Conti to host the Sanremo Festival for the two-year period 2025 and 2026. This is certainly not a rash choice, as the man has already dealt with this format in the past and we are sure that this time too he will do so with great success .

What’s new in the new edition

During an interview Accounts spoke about how the next Sanremo Festival will include numerous changes, such as two races very distinct between the young and the big names. There will then be no eliminations and as usual he will actively contribute to the choice of songs.

Conti then stated that the duration of the live broadcast will also be shorter as we will try to complete the evening around 1 am and no later. He would also like two friends at his side who have contributed to making many TV programs popular over the years. We are referring to Leonardo Pieraccioni and Giorgio Panariello which would certainly give a touch of liveliness to this format.
